News in brief- Iran-Emroozonline reporting from "ISNA" :

A perilous measure !

Mr. Shamsolvaezin : Anyone who is going to be announced by the government as journalist will lose their credit from the public!

ISNA : The spoksperson for the " Association in Defense of Press Freedom " have adviced the government not to interfere in making criteria for journalists!

He said: When government is entering into this area , soon we will have reporter who are either not reporter or not journalist.........Do they want to make journalists who are embeded with government?

Mr. Shams said: The Ministry of Islamic Guidance and Culture of the new government , since it came to power looked at the media as a government body which will bring benefit to the government . Looking at media in this way will harm them and this plan will fail.

Making criteria for journalists and reporter is the work of syndicate and professional unions and therefore it is not the responsibility of Ministry of Islamic Guidance and Culture .

Shams: Journalism is very difficult in Iran , not only at the time of Khatami which there were pressure,prison and restriction but also at this time when the government is trying to make criteria for journalists , this is perilous.I predict that later on some of the security agents will be recognized as journalists .

He said : We, as the media organizations won't allow this to happen and will act promptly and correctly to prevent this.

We announce that; The journalists don't need " Guardian council " to decide who is journalist and who is not ?

Aftab: It has been said that ; One of the security agencies in a letter to Ministry of Guidance , requested from this ministry to review their relationship with the international news agencies that are active inside Iran and to pay more attention when giving visa to them.
Part of the letter goes as far as saying that; It is impossible to see these foreign journalists to write positive about the Islamic Republic system and therefore there is no need for their presence in Tehran .
These measures are as closing Iran's door to foreign media and its first reflextion will be; Iran news isolation .

IRAN WATCH CANADA:

Part one:A political insight-

For how long the government of Ahmadinejad will continue going these way? Will it stop short by the popular uprising , resistance ? The Iranian have a proverb it says " The spring will tell if the year is good " , the Government of Ahmadinejad in its almost 7 months in power showed it does not understand the international norms of running a government as a member of the international body . Now will the religious reformers backed by Khatami going to start to bring their outrages this time instead of behind the door to the street ?Hesitation !? will the "Melli-Mazhabi's" and other liberal minded religious start to organize their supporter before it is too late? The Iranian had already enough with the government of Ahmadinejad .In the history there are times and moments that are so crucial to decide what to do next? or what is the best step to take ? is it the time to organize ? yes , is it the time to resist? I believe so . This is what Akbar Ganji alone did and he always said ; "the leaders must pay the price" .

It will be disastrous if we are not a dedicated captain of the ship . If we are going to leave the ship with its occupant in the middle of the path , if this is so we better not to take the step as the captain and crew of the ship , period .

But all the situation indicate that the government is unable to handle the agendas set forth for a normal government to run. The Islamic system as well; like always been rejected by the vast majiority of the population ( out of 70Million Iranian 30Million are aged under 30 years old and 8 years ago 20 Million voted for reform ).This government was in fact the government in shadow during the reformist government of Mohammad Khatami and tried all it could to stop the reform . How many years more Iranian people can waite? Until the government is totally isolated and then bear in mind that it would be hard to hear anything from Iran !? How long can we waite? It seems to me that this system and government is ready to pay the price and survive by even going into isolation .Is this the case ? Is it whats happening? Does it matter for us if the regime choose to? If it is a matter of gradual death then why not find an alternative?

News update- Gooya news rporting from Iran:

"Peyman Piran" in an open letter reported; the security agents in an attack beat him up!

Compatriot!

Aparently the unique infamy of judiciary system and especially the prisons organization and the Iranian prison guards has no end , What is happening here in Iranian prison is the same as what happens in the " Abugharib " prison in Iraq. While the Iranian authority together with its controled media speaks ill about other countries as well as in Iraq on violation of human rights , the prisons in Iran every day witnesses horrendous attack on prisoners whose only guilt and crime is their openion expression and their views about daily problems in the society which is the duties of all citizens to speak about it .
After 2 years imprisonment , on Tuesday Feb. 14, 2006, at around 9:00 am I was transfered by the prison agents to the prison information protection office in Evin prison and after a while , suddenly the agents and prison guards attacked me , all of them punched and kicked me , while i was calling no one was listening , two of them were holding my hands and other were beating me with their punches and kicks .
In this situation , the chief of the prison was also present and these was continued , after two hours without any explanation they brought me back to my cell.
This is not the first time they have done it........, at the end i just want to say that : Even if i'll be attacked daily , I won't stop resisting on what i believe is my basic rights as human being to express my opinion .

News from Iran - Iran Emrooz online reporting from Radio Farda :

Another Zahra Kazemi ?

The newspapers in Tehran reported : "Ms. Elham Afrotan" the 20 years old imprisoned journalist , have commited suicide inside the jail and the governor of "Hormozgan" have confirmed the report !

Radio Farda - The newspapers in Tehran wrote : " Elham Afrotan" the 20 years old journalist who have been in the Islamic Republics detention for a written article in the "Tamadon Hormozgan" newspaper have commited suicide and the "Hormozgan" governor have confirmed the news.
This young journalist took an article from an internet site and published it in the local "Bandar Abas" newspapers , the general manager of these newspapers is an MP from the city of Bandar Abas to the 7th parliament, the article compared Ayatollah Khomeini and other Islamic Republic officials to Aids virus .A virus that Iran and Iranian become infected. Although two days before the article was going to be published the main writer of the article annouced that he is fully responsible for writing the article and not Ms. Elham Afrotan , he said that she didn't have had any responsibility towards the Aids article. So at the end she lost her life on this article.The RSF in its last week communique warrned about her execution because of charges that was leid on her.

Dr. Abdolkarim Lahiji the lawyer and human rights defender who is currently residing in Paris in an interview with Radio Farda Said:
This is not the first time they kill someone in the Islamic Republic and then naming it as suicide.then Mr. Lahiji spoke about a series of misterious suicide which has a history in the Islamic Republic.He said that; unfortunately the judiciary power in Iran and other law making assemblies are not independant from political power and therefore the families of the victime lose hope in asking for a real investigation.He said: I believe the Islamic Republic must annouce about the death ,suicide or the murder of this lady.

Mr. Mohsen Armin a member of the commission number 90 which deals in public complaint or other issues and was a member of the previous parliament and also a reformist and is the one who disclosed the truth abouth the death of Zahra Kazemi , recently said :

The general manager of the newspaper who is the member of the parliament have said that this lady must be executed . I aske him if someone insulted the leader of the Islamic Republic must be executed?

News from Iran- Iran Emroozonline reporting from German Farsi Radio( DW )
- An interview by Mihandokht Mesbah
(QA)

Q : Mr.Salehi, in the last statement of the Association of Iran Writers , it spoke about testimonies indicating of fresh plans by the authority for limiting more of literary and cultural writings or restricting social and individual rights , how do you see the situation?

Mr. Seyed Ali Salehi - A : In general after some apparent oppenness and often truely during the time of reform we had fairly free newspapers which sometimes were publishing the views of the independent intellectuals and those who think different from regime but in the new government Mr. Ahmadinejad has changed the face of the socity more into militarism and therefore we can see more restriction especially in the area of printing,publishing and book, especially in todays' Iran literature and the modern literature. At present the book publication decreased which we haven't seen in previous year , the days are darker and the atmospher is more suffocating and our literary works particularly in the area of poetry, story and novel even translation when the publisher after following the bylaws of the Islamic Republic and sends the translation to the Ministry of Guidance and Culture for permission and then for publication faces harsh difficulties in a way that there is no new book being published and the publishers are very disappointed and at present they only sell what has been published previousely , we hear from our friends that they have sent their script to the ministry for permission to publish but was put up on hold .
There are only one or two newspaper which sometimes find enough courage to publish the works of the writers and again that is not easy because they are under pressure too, we also witnessed the closure of "Karnameh" and after that we had the closure of students publications in Tehran and other provinces and their license has been cancelled by those who are in the board of media watch dog .
After the ban on cultural material now we have the ban on political activities. Attack on public transit workers and the arrest of their leader Mr. Mansur Osanlou and 700 others including the wife of the workers , also we have the arrest of students in all over Iran and all of these activities teaches us that the closure , banning are geting bigger and deeper.

Q- The statement is asking individuals , independent and freedom loving organizations to have solidarity with the Association of Iran Writers. In addition to your openion and since the society recieving new militaristic face , really how can anyone resist into this pressures and how do you want the solidarity be ?

A-Seyed Ali Salehi : The history has proven that it is possible to disappoint a nation , to suppress a nation and push them to a corner but this won't be continued always . Our hopes and dreams cant be controlled , today and tomorrow they can control us , murder us and make us to retire but at the end what would they do with our dreams? When the Association of writers releases a communique and invites the independent organizations and personalities to resist in front of these choas and closures , in reality it is seeking for a cultural movement which has the political results . In this situation our nation has proven that they won't be defeated and will protect its happiness and unity eventhough it is limited. Of course i have to admit that we have become used to this! If they have special alphabet for controling us we have also our special alphabet to resist and not to let the days get darker.

Q- Mr. Salehi , the revolutionin in Iran have entered in its 27 years, and still the daily slogan is; the return to the values and demands of those days. everyone who is active in literature and culture knows that in those years, on the eve of the revolution the poetry reading at night and activities by writers and poets had so much effect on inflaming the revolution .How did you think 27 years ago and how do you think now?

A- Well, It is very difficult to answer to this question which need a deep and extended treatise with special focus in order to arrive to a correct result, but the truth the matter is not only me , but also many who are now in the position as an authority of this society and government could not believe today after 27 years they would arrive at this point. Who would think that the economic corruption and corruption in government organizationz will bring the society to this dead ends, all of us and all the people were thinking that we will become free from despotism,but unfortunately the taste of power and the habit of power particularly the political and economic power always bring corruption, the corruption not only bring the people to its knees but also bring the every system to its knees. The enemy of all dictators and despotic regimes is the corruption that they creat. We are sorry ! We had hope, an idealistic one that we can arrive to a relative national prosperity and the basic rights of the people will be observed but it diden't, this is a reality that the government officials themselves agree on this ,the other problem which we should not forget is that the social phnomenae in the region and as well as the world helped the days and the special socio-political situation in Middle East to become darker. We could even gradually move towards a kind of reform and become close to a civil society typical of eastern third world, but when our society was ready to put forward a fair dialogue with despotism and resist in front of it , we see the U.S. attack on Middle East and the dream of enlarged Middle East and therefore if the society in Iran took a militaristic face a part of it to be blamed to foriegn threat and we hope that the society in Iran become more calm and really it dosent worth that the human become these much greedy and like the wolf attacking other human.

Q- You think it is still early to say that; for all the dreams that we have lost we must elegize ?

A- Never I believed in elegy , It is better i will say by speaking , what has happened to us is the elegy . We speak of sun while living in dark and in the middle of mourning we won't forget the happiness, we have no other choice than to become the hostage of hope , light and happiness . the national mournful songs and particularly what can spread the disappointment can lead to collective betrayal , No ! We will resist and will never become disappointed , if we are confronting the internal despotism, it dosent mean that we welcome the oppression, tyranny and presence of foreign forces , but we will stand in front of that too.

Q- Mr. Salehi , thank you very much for explaining to us.

Geneva-Paris, February 13, 2006. The World Organisation Against Torture (OMCT) and the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH), in the framework of their joint programme, the Observatory for the Protection of Human Rights Defenders, are pleased to announce that the following four persons were selected as nominees for the 2006 Martin Ennals Award for Human Rights Defenders (MEA)*.

- Mr. Akbar Ganji (Iran), a journalist at the daily newspaper Sobh-e-Emrooz, detained since 2000 at the Evin Prison in Tehran for having written numerous articles denouncing the involvement of the Iranian regime in the assassination of political opponents and intellectuals in 1998. Mr. Akbar Ganji was sentenced in July 2001 to ten years’ imprisonment on the charges of “undermining national security and propaganda against institutions of the Islamic State”. In July 2005, Mr. Ganji was hospitalised at the Milad Hospital in Tehran after more than two months on hunger strike, to which he finally put an end in the night of 20 to 21 August 2005. During his hospitalisation, he was beaten by his guards in order to persuade him give up his views and promise his allegiance to the Supreme Leader, the Ayatollah Khamenei. As he refused, he was sent back to prison on 3 September 2005, whereas he remained extremely weak both physically and psychologically. He was placed in solitary confinement in a special wing of the Evin Prison, where he might be subjected to acts of torture (See Observatory Annual Report 2004, Urgent Appeals IRN 001/0004/030.3, 030.4, 030.5, 030.6, 030.7, 030.8 and 030.9 and Open Letter to the Iranian authorities, 28 October 2005).

IRAN WATCH CANADA respects the Freedom of Expression but believe that journalists, writers, cartoonists , film makers and.......must be caucious when it comes to sacred religious subjects. This kind of cartoon won't help at all and it only helps the rulers in the Islamic countries to take advantage of the situation to abuse the emotion of the ordinary moslem people. For example in Iran a tsunami of reform , Human Rights and Democracy movement is on its way and many religious intellectuals and secular moslems are behind this movement against religious extremists ( like president Ahmadinejad) , the west must help this trend in a peaceful way without intervention and the use of military . The problem in the Middle East is human developement . It seems to me that the cartoonist does not understand this region and its situation and what may bring by drawing a controvercial cartoon such as this.

IRAN WATCH CANADA is against violence and supports cartoonists , journalists ,writers .....all over the world.

AMNESTY INTERNATIONALPublic StatementAI Index: MDE 13/007/2006 (Public)News Service No: 030 2 February 2006

IRAN: AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL CALLS FOR RELEASE OF BUS WORKERS
Amnesty International is calling on the Iranian authorities to release immediately hundreds of Tehran bus workers who were detained last week apparently to pre-empt threatened strike action. Although some of the workers have been released, hundreds are reported still to be detained without charge or trial at Tehran’s Evin Prison. The arrests began after the executive committee of the Union of Workers of the Tehran and Suburbs Bus Company, which represents workers employed by the United Bus Company of Tehran (Sharekat-e Vahed), called for a strike on 28 January in support of various union demands. These included the release of the union’s leader, Mansour Ossanlu, who has been detained without charge or trial since 22 December 2005, the introduction of collective bargaining and for the bus company, which is run by the Tehran local authority, to grant a pay increase. According to reports, leaflets announcing the strike were widely distributed in Tehran on 24 January 2006 and one member of the union’s executive, Hosseini Tabar, was detained for about four hours while helping with this. Next day, six other members of the union’s executive committee - Ebrahim Madadi, Mansour Hayat Ghaybi, Seyed Davoud Razavi, Sa’id Torabian, Ali Zad Hossein and Gholamreza Mirza’i - were summoned to appear at the Public Prosecutor’s Office in Tehran. When they did so on 26 January, they were arrested when they refused to call off the strike and taken to Evin Prison. Interviewed by the official IRNA news agency, the Mayor of Tehran reportedly described the union as illegal and said that the authorities would not permit the strike to go ahead. The United Bus Company’s management threatened workers who supported the strike call with the loss of their jobs.The authorities then carried out mass arrests of union members on 27 January, the eve of the threatened strike, detaining some workers as they completed their shifts and others at their homes. Those detained included the wives of Mansour Hayat Ghaybi and Seyed Davoud Razavi, and a third union leader, Yaghub Salimi. Security forces raided Yaghub Salimi’s home after he was interviewed by a Berlin-based radio station but he was absent at the time. However, his wife and their children were beaten and detained. Mahdiye Salimi, aged 12, described her ordeal later in a radio interview. She said that three women and five children had been arrested, that they had been beaten and that her two-year-old sister had been injured when she was pushed roughly into a security forces vehicle, and that her mother had been kicked in the chest. Mahdiye Salimi was released, together with her mother and young sister, when Yaghub Salimi gave himself up to the security forces. The other children and women who were detained are also now reported to have been released. Hundreds more union members are reported to have been arrested on the day of the strike, 28 January, with most of these also being taken to Evin Prison. Workers were reportedly beaten with batons, punched, kicked and threatened to force them to work, including by members of the volunteer Basij force who had apparently been brought in replace striking workers, and security forces reportedly used tear gas and fired shots into the air. Further arrests were reported on 29 and 30 January. Currently, only some 30 to 50 of those detained are reported to have been released, apparently after they agreed under duress to sign guarantees that they would not participate in strikes or other protest actions. As many as 500 others are believed still to be held at Evin Prison without access to lawyers or family. Some are reported to have started a hunger strike on 29 January to protest their detention. Another strike has been called for 2 February 2006. Amnesty International is concerned that those detained are being held solely on account of their peaceful activities as trade unionists and as such are prisoners of conscience who should be released immediately and unconditionally. The right to form and join trade unions is well-established in international law, notably under Article 22 of the International Covenant of Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and Article 8 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR). Iran is a state party to both of these treaties.Iran is also a member of the International Labour Organization and bound by its requirements, including the ILO Committee on Freedom of Association’s ruling that it is not legitimate for states to restrict the right to strike during disputes concerning workers’ occupational and economic interests. States can restrict the right to strike only in cases of acute national emergency (and then for a limited period only), which is clearly not the situation which prevails in Tehran. Freedom of association and the effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining are core principles of the ILO’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, which requires all state parties “to respect, to promote and to realize, in good faith and in accordance with the Constitution, the principles [of the Declaration].”Background InformationThe union representing Tehran’s bus workers was banned after the 1979 Islamic Revolution, then reactivated in 2004 although it is not legally-recognized. On 22 December 2005, police arrested 12 of the union’s leaders at their homes but quickly released four of them. Further union members were arrested on 25 December while staging a bus strike in Tehran to call for the release of their colleagues but they and all those arrested earlier were released in the following days with the exception of Mansour Ossanlu. He continues to be detained and to be denied access to a lawyer, and is said possibly to be facing serious charges of having contact with exiled opposition groups and instigating armed revolt.Seven union members, including Mansour Hayat Ghaybi; Ebrahim Madadi; Reza Tarazi; Gholamreza Mirza’i; Abbas Najand Kouhi and Ali Zad Hossein, were reportedly summoned to appear before a Revolutionary Court in Tehran on 1 January 2006 to face public order charges but their trial was postponed when other union members protested outside the court.On 7 January, five drivers were reportedly detained when bus company workers staged another strike but later freed.For further information please see Urgent Action AI Index MDE 13/002/2006 which can be found at http://web.amnesty.org/library/Index/ENGMDE130022006?open&of=ENG-IRN

News update- Gooya newsonline reporting from "Radio Farda" :

An interview with a Public Transit Worker who is on strike !
The security agents are preventing the public Transit Workers to go back to their work !
Masud Malek ( Radio Farda ) :

The actions of the Islamic Republic in suppressing the protest of the Public Transit Workers ( Sherkat Wahed) and the atmosphere of fear and horror among the PTW and their families are being continued. Mr. Hasan Mohammadi one of the syndicate activist who is also under prosecution by the Islamic Republic, in an interview with Radio Farda spoke about the latest news and views on the situation :Today ( Wednesday ) several spouses of our colleagues were gathered in front of the parliament and were demanding for the release of their dear one. But unfortunately none of the officials found themselves responssible to response to them and did nothing. In any case these women decided to continue their protest in front of the Tehran court of revolution on Saturday Feb.4 , 2006 . We invite any people whose husband , wife or member of the family are detained to come their and demand for their freedom.
Tonight still we are on the run and does not have a fixed location , with this cold weather of Tehran , but well , when we hear good news from inside the prison, we feel warm. Our friend in the prison found a way to speak to us and asked us to move these movement ahead. And from this place i want to tell them that as much as we can we will do resist, and if one day they didn't hear from us they must know that we are no longer alive.
On Tuesday night Mrs. Hayat Gheibi was released and her children were very happy, we hope that their father too will soon be released and all these fathers will get back to their homes, Today again they prevented many of the workers to go to work , they are asking them to bring a letter from the office of the " Herasat" ( an intelligent office in Sherkat Wahed) . They have taken the cousin of Mr. Wahab Mohammadi as a hostage so that our colleague Wahab will give himself up. We asked him not to give himself to the regime and stay with us. The situation is still dangerous , and as we spoke with our colleagues they have recieved a coupon for 50,000 Tuman which they said is the money of their colleagues being in prison. Strike is one of the legal way to recieve our rights and is a known practice everywhere in the world but in Iran it is different.
I would like to say to all the people around the world and news agency that our action is just a syndicate action and not political , we do not have problem with the system , only we are demanding for our rights, the poverty and prostitution is in its highest stage, crime is showing its face in a tragic way which was not experienced at all in Iran, unfortunately these goes back to the lack of management , I have fought two years in the war front for this country but i have difficulty with the managers and believe for their reform.
